The Good News of the Anointing
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to...
All Things Are of God
"And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation." (2 Cor. 5:18) Because we are new creatures in Christ and our past is passed away, God says that all things we have in Christ are new...
God’s Goodness and Mercy
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. (Ps. 107:1) When we think about the goodness and mercy of God, we instinctively think about His goodness and mercy in remitting our sins as sinners and forgiving our sins as Christians....
Set Free by Divine Knowledge
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6). Sometimes we try to discover how we can receive our healing when what we really need to do is find out why we got sick to begin with. If we can find the answer to that question, we can correct the problem...
Vanishing Opportunities
"Redeeming the time..." (Eph. 5:16 NKJ). This verse contains an illuminating Greek word for time: kairos (kahee-ros'). This is time adapted to circumstances. Kairos can be defined as: 1) A set time for action 2) the right moment 3) the opportune point of time when...

Heaven’s Economy
"Giving thanks unto the Father...Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son" (Col. 1:12-13). If, in spite of all the Bible's promises about prosperity...in spite of all the prayers you've prayed...you...
Need Direction?
Proverbs 3:6 says: “In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths” (AMP). As we seek to know the Lord, we will find the direction we need. The Living Bible says it this way: “In everything you do,...
Led By The Spirit Means No Law
"But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law." (Gal. 5:18 NASB) The leading of the Spirit is here contrasted to being under the law. Law is any system of rewards and punishments we adhere to. (If you do this, then you'll get that.) That's what law...
The Law of Love
In John 13:34, Jesus made an interesting statement. He said, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another." Then He went on to say, "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have...
